Around 7,000 Jews died in the month-long revolt, most of them burned alive, and more than 50,000 were deported to the Treblinka death camp.

The Germans then razed the ghetto, and the notoriously brutal German commander Juergen Stroop penned a report entitled "The Jewish Quarter of Warsaw is No More!"

Poland's Institute of National Remembrance on Wednesday showcased one of the two original copies of the report, which "documents the entire process of exterminating the Warsaw ghetto Jews", institute director Rafal Leskiewicz said.

Warsaw will hold an official memorial ceremony on Friday, the anniversary of the start of the uprising, at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes.
